Former islander MeganBHanson chats to Grazia about sexism, why contestant Shannon Singh's OnlyFans is empowering, and her hopes to be a 'female, sexier Louis Theroux'
You probably don't need a reminder but, just in case, Love Island is returning to screens next week. Eek! After the year we've had, we are so ready for two months of drama and cracking on. Another person who couldn't be more excited for the next series is ex-Islander Megan Barton-Hanson, who Grazia pulled aside for a chat before the start of the next instalment of the hit dating show.
'I love that there's always the glamour model, but the fact she has an OnlyFans? I think it's so empowering,' Megan tells us. 'And I love that she's speaking so openly about it, and owning it. And already it's been like a headline on The Daily Mail. My mum sent it to me and was like, "Oh my god, I hope she's prepared" Because obviously I had such a hard time with all my glamour model and sex work stuff, so I love the fact that she's owning it.
'I'm just so bored of being asked,' she sighs. 'I just find it strange how it's always like the women that get asked. When I first came out of the villa, me and Wes were doing joint interviews and he never got asked once. I also have a really good relationship with Adam Collard, who was on my series, and he had sex with two girls.
'I never thought that I was going to be like my angle, but it's just given me this opportunity to speak to people and just educate and liberate women,' she tells us. 'Like, so many women work on OnlyFans or in the sex industry, and they get slutshamed. I'm speaking openly and honestly because growing up, there was no one in the public eye that I could turn to for advice. And I think most kids get educated on sex and women's pleasure from porn.
